[0038] In the embodiment, the spray gun 608 side wall extends a support 610, the support 610 top end is provided with a support 611, a watering can 612 is detachably connected on the support 611, the watering can 612 is a container for containing paint, the upper end of which is provided with a detachable can cover 613, the lower end of which is provided with an external thread, the inner wall of the support 611 is provided with an internal thread, the external thread and the internal thread are engaged with each other, the bottom of the watering can 612 is provided with a discharge port, and the discharge port is provided with a discharge valve, the discharge port cooperates with the through hole 615, the tail end of the through hole 615 is arranged on the output port of the spray gun 608, and the watering can 612 and the can cover 613 are buckle type fixed, because the watering can 612 is rotatably connected with the support 611, the watering can 612 and the can cover 613 can also maintain stability when the watering can 612 is forced to rotate.

[0039] In the embodiment, the replacement of the spray can mechanism 5 comprises a mounting plate 501 fixed on the base 1, an electric guide rail 502 mounted on the mounting plate 501, a linear module 503 mounted on the electric guide rail 502, the electric guide rail 502 driving the linear module 503 to move horizontally left and right, a guide seat 504 mounted on the linear module 503, the linear module 503 driving the guide seat 504 to move vertically up and down, an electric clamping jaw 505 mounted on the guide seat 504, a clamping groove 614 formed in the side wall of the can cover 613 and matched with the fixed jaw, and a deformation part 507 provided on the fixed jaw. The deformation part 507 is specifically provided as a rubber rod. Due to the characteristics of thread rotation, when rotating, the bottom of the spray can 612 will move downward by about 3 cm. If the moving distance is matched with the movement of the linear module, a large amount of calculation will be generated to calculate the operation mode of the module. If the linear module does not move, the distance of 3 cm will cause damage to the internal mechanism of the linear module. Therefore, the rubber rod with a certain deformation elasticity is designed in the middle of the fixed jaw. When the spray can 612 descends, the elongation of the rubber rod replaces the movement of the linear module, which well solves the problems generated during the installation of the spray can 612.

[0040] In the embodiment, a laser range finder 618 is further mounted at the output port of the spray gun 608.

[0041] In the embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a drying room 2, and the spray room and the baking room are placed in parallel to improve the utilization rate of the site and realize simultaneous spraying and baking to maximize the spraying efficiency.

[0042] Working principle: the car is driven into the sensing area 3, which is specifically provided as two groups of pressure sensors corresponding to the wheels on both sides of the car. When the car completely enters the sensing area 3, an instruction is sent, and the car pulls the handbrake to prepare for painting.

[0043] Firstly, the type of paint is determined according to the requirements of the car paint, the corresponding paint is supplemented in the spray can 612, and then an instruction is sent to the mechanical arms 605 on both sides. The laser range finder 618 on the output end 606 detects the relative distance of the spray guns 608 corresponding to the frame on both sides. If there is a large error, the first motor 602 can drive the tooth column 603 to rotate in the tooth groove 604 to adjust the position of the corresponding mechanical arm 605. After ensuring that the position error of the spray guns 608 on both sides reaches the specified value, the corresponding vehicle type is input, the spraying track is introduced, and the mechanical arms 605 on both sides start to move symmetrically to spray, thereby ensuring that the spraying effects on both sides of the car paint are consistent.

[0044] When the paint in the spray pot 612 is used up and needs to be replaced during spraying, the electric guide rail 502 drives the linear module 503 to move horizontally above the spray pot 612 filled with paint, and the electric clamping jaw 505 with the opening fixed jaw contacts the pot cover 613, and the pot cover 613 is provided with a clamping groove 614 corresponding to the electric clamping jaw 505. As shown in Figure 10 , the spray pot 612 with used paint is taken out and placed on a standby rack, and the spray pot 612 filled with paint is taken out and placed on the support 611. The second motor 506 drives the spray pot 612 to rotate, thereby completing the fixing of the spray pot 612 and completing the replacement process of the spray pot. In this process, personnel intervention and frequent in-and-out operations of the spray room are not required, the operator's manual pot replacement, paint mist absorption in the spray room, and waiting process are solved, the physical impact caused by the long-time operation of the operator in the spray room is reduced, the quick replacement structure of the spray pot 612 is designed, the automatic online switching of the topcoat, color paint, and varnish in the whole vehicle spraying process is realized, and the spraying efficiency is improved.

[0045] The mechanical arm 605 is a GCR16-2000-EX model with multiple explosion-proof designs, assisted by a high-temperature protective suit, so that the mechanical arm 605 can work normally in a high-temperature environment (satisfying the use in a high-temperature environment of a baking room), and the mechanical arm 605 has four-axis changes (X, Y, Z, and R axes) to satisfy different track coating processes. The output end 606 corresponds to the Z axis, can change the alignment direction of the spray gun 608, the nozzles and separators 609 installed on the two spray guns 608 are different to cope with oil-based paint and water-based paint, the first nozzle 616 is a large-diameter nozzle (such as 1.5-1.8 mm), because the oil-based paint has high viscosity, uniform atomization is achieved and clogging is avoided, the specific model can use W-71 type spray gun recommended for oil-based fluorocarbon paint, and the separator 609 is a centrifugal separator to avoid water in the air from mixing to cause blistering of the paint film. The second nozzle 617 is composed of a plurality of small-diameter nozzles, because of the characteristics of water-based paint, the spraying efficiency is improved, the separator 609 is configured as a high-efficiency oil-water separator to ensure clean air and avoid water in the air from contacting the oil-based paint. Two sets of spray guns are designed, the rotation of the output end 606 is completed through the R-axis rotation, the corresponding spray gun 608 faces the frame, and the use is replaced, and the requirements of oil-based and water-based paint are satisfied.

[0046] The hand-eye coordinate transformation matrix is calculated through multiple pose data, and the mapping relationship between the robot arm coordinate system and the camera coordinate system is established to obtain a global unified coordinate transformation matrix. The multiple pose data includes multiple pose parameters of the robot arm end effector (first pose parameters) and pose parameters of the calibration object detected by the 3D point cloud camera (second pose parameters). According to the point cloud data (including spatial coordinates and normal vector information) of the adjacent overlapping area, the feature point pairs are extracted from the point cloud based on the sampling consistency algorithm (such as the random sample consensus algorithm), and the initial transformation matrix is quickly estimated to align the approximate position. Through the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, the accurate transformation matrix between adjacent point clouds is calculated, the seamless splicing of high-density point clouds is completed, and the complete vehicle body point cloud data (including a three-dimensional coordinate set of all scanning areas) is obtained.

[0047] According to the point cloud data filtering and plane detection results, statistical filtering or voxel grid filtering is adopted to remove outliers ("early points") and retain effective point clouds. Based on the random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm, plane features are extracted from the point cloud, and the angle R (normal vector direction) and center coordinates (plane geometric center) of each plane are calculated to obtain structured point cloud data (grouped by plane, each group containing plane angle R, center coordinates and belonging point set).

[0048] According to the point cloud slice and initial point set, the center coordinates are taken as the reference, and each group of point clouds is equally sliced along the robot arm motion direction (such as Z axis). The outline boundary points of each slice are extracted, and their X, Y and Z coordinates are obtained. The coordinates of each slice are combined with the corresponding plane angle R to form an initial trajectory point array

X, Y, Z, R

[0049] According to the initial trajectory point set (including order, coordinates and angle parameters), the order of each trajectory point, the X / Y / Z coordinate offset and the R angle are taken as gene positions, and are encoded into chromosomes (such as the permutation combination of point set order and parameter vector). The fitness is sorted, and the top N% of high-quality chromosomes are retained. The selected chromosomes are subjected to point set order crossover (such as partial matching crossover) and parameter mixing, and the point set order or R angle is randomly adjusted (within ±5% range). New solutions are introduced, and the above steps are repeated until the fitness value converges (path length, angle fluctuation and other indicators no longer significantly improve). An optimized trajectory point set (optimal or suboptimal point sequence arrangement and parameter combination) is obtained.

[0050] The specific calculation process of the above fitness value is as follows:

[0051] According to the order of the trajectory points coded by the chromosome, all adjacent point pairs are traversed in turn, and for each adjacent point pair, the spatial straight-line distance between the two points is calculated according to their three-dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z). The specific method is as follows: take the coordinate difference of the two points in the X, Y, and Z directions, square each, add them together, and then take the square root of the result to obtain the single-step distance value. The single-step distance values of all adjacent point pairs are added up to obtain the total path length corresponding to the chromosome. The shorter the total path length, the higher the efficiency of the robot arm movement. According to the same order of the trajectory points, all adjacent point pairs are traversed, and for each adjacent point pair, the difference in R angle (the angle of the current point minus the angle of the previous point) is calculated and the absolute value is taken to avoid positive and negative cancellation. The absolute values of the R angle changes of all adjacent point pairs are added up to obtain the total angle fluctuation. The smaller the angle fluctuation, the smoother the change in the pose of the robot arm, and the more stable the spraying quality. The path length and the angle fluctuation are normalized. Specifically, in the current population, the maximum path length and the maximum angle fluctuation value are found, and the path length and the angle fluctuation of each chromosome are divided by the corresponding maximum value to scale them to the interval of 0 to 1. According to the actual requirements, weights are assigned to the two indicators (for example, the path length accounts for 60% and the angle fluctuation accounts for 40%). The normalized path length is multiplied by weight 1, and the normalized angle fluctuation is multiplied by weight 2. The sum of the two gives the comprehensive fitness value. If it is necessary to prioritize the optimization of a certain indicator, the weight ratio can be adjusted. For example, if shortening the path is more important, the weight of the path length can be increased to 70% or more.

[0052] According to the optimized trajectory point set (containing the
